Just tell him to stick to his boogie board (especially if he's a stand up surfer)
also remind him to stay on the shore when the breeze picks up in case it musses up his hair
ok here is how it goes, you get an orangatang, im not talking a little monkey or some dancing chimp bull****, i mean a fu**ing orangatang. dont ask me where your going to get an orangatang becasue thats not my problem. so the orangatangs name is clyde, this is non negoitable all orangatangs are named clyde, i dont know why that is its just the way the world works, so you and clyde become man and ape about the town, your seen everywere together, you make th scene. you and your friends go out in big groups. you talk loud you laugh even louder. every time you say somthing witty you hive five clyde. the town bgin to buzz, it will get back to your mate. do you know the guy with the orangatang, didnt you used to pay out on the guy with the orangatang, why would you give crap to a guy with an orangatang, next thing you know your mates calling dying to take up kiting.
im hoping we can still be mates, wanna teach me to kite sometime?
"geeze i dunno me and clyde were goin to a monster truck race tonight(orangatangs love monster trucks. infact the whole social calender seems kinds full. ill tell you what ill make a little note(what was your name again) and maybe i can squeeze you in. ohwel, you kno my number dont be a stra--hey look at the time i gotta skate clydes making mojitoes.
at this point the upper hand is yours, you can let him twist in the wind, you cna slowely draw him into kiting at your own pace. whatever its your life but if your a smart man? youl slowely phase him back in. your im-ing, your tlaking on facebook, your getting inveted to surfing functions, you bring clyde, he becomes like one of the family , your one big brady bunch.
Oh, I almost forgot. Pretty soon all your old friends will slowly disappear from your life and be replaced by only those that kite. You'll soon forget who your surfer friend was.
It's a bit like a religous cult, only more fun and half as creepy. Problem solved.![]()
The two sports are actually complementary to each other.....
The amount of fun you have kiting is correlated to wind speed
The amount of fun you have surfing is negatively correlated to wind speed
Rational fun seekers will use diversification to optimize their fun-portfolios, and how much time to invest in pursuing each leisurely activity. See below:
I've asked a surfer about it this morning, he said:
surfing and kitesurfing are both great, here's a more controversial question:
What is better, stand up paddleboarding, or netball?
